Aubameyang who started his career at AC Milan, but failed to impress, moved on to St Etienne in 2011. His success in France saw current Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp purchase the player for BVB two years later, and he has not looked back since.

United have struggled to hit the back of the net this season as ferocious as they have been noted for, and an Aubameyang caliber with a goal ratio of 1.2, after scoring 17 in only 14 Bundesliga appearances leaves the player at a good standing to fit into Van Gaal’s team.

He has proved beyond doubt that he is one of the continent's most consistent performers, and his skill set is matched to the demands of the Premier League.
